Hi, I was looking for information about this issue but, apparently there is not :-(

I'm running hobbit 4.2 using hobbitping poll 12 hosts.

Some of those hosts are behind a 2Mbps link, and almost all the time that link is 3% busy. The rest of the hosts are in the same LAN as the hobbit server.

I need to poll 12 hosts within 20 seconds intervals, but it take 30 seconds the complete process. I read that hobbitping is fastest than fping, and there is some Fping examples that show that 12 hosts would be ping in 20 seconds without any problem.

I have changed the bbnet interval in the hobbitlaunch.cfg to 20 (or less, just to try) but here is what the log shows (/var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log):

If any have any recommendation, or work around, how I can poll this hosts with 20 seconds interval, would be welcome! :D

Thanks in advance!!
